a hose and a pipe are two different things in the US, though they serve similar functions. We might call it a garden hose to be more specific, but a hose is typically a bendable tube you can connect to the water spouts on the outside of your house. A pipe would be a fixed metal or pvc tube that carries water and is not bendable.
never heard of a hosepipe in my life… but after looking it up, it makes sense i guess. reminds me of this greentext copypasta thing: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/690/828/2e0.png
What do you call them?
just a ‘hose’ in north america, not really that different
And if you really want to be clear, you might say “garden hose” (but usually it’s just “hose”)

We also call it garden hose.
I think we just like to double it up for emphasis, or something.
makes sense when you think about it, but i’d just never heard that term before
